The video describes how to assess a sick child using the Pediatric Assessment Triangle. The triangle has three parts: A, B, and C. "A" stands for Appearance; check if the child is alert and aware of their surroundings. "B" is for Breathing; observe the child's chest movement and listen to lung sounds. "C" represents Circulation; look for signs like pale skin or cyanosis that indicate poor blood flow or bleeding issues. These steps help quickly determine how serious a child's condition might be in an emergency situation.
